"The tradition of American public libraries is closely tied to the perception that
these institutions should be open to all without regard to social background. Such
was not the case in the segregated South, however, where public libraries barred entry
to millions of African Americans and provided tacit support for a culture of white
supremacy. A Right to Read is the first book to examine public library segregation
from its origins in the late 19th century through its end during the tumultuous years
of the 1960s civil rights movement ; Graham focuses on Alabama, where African Americans,
denied access to white libraries, worked to establish and maintain their own "Negro
branches." These libraries - separate but never equal - were always underfunded and
inadequately prepared to meet the needs of their constituencies."--Jacket
